Msi will release its own geforce gtx 1080 and gtx 1060 with faster memories

NVIDIA partners have already begun unveiling their own custom models of the GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1060 graphics cards. If we recently saw ASUS custom graphics, now it is the turn of MSI, whose cards were recently photographed and it seems that they will reach consumers in mid-April.

Basically, the new MSI Gaming X Plus models of the GeForce GTX 1060 will see an increase in the speed of its GDDR5 memory, up to 9 Gbps. Meanwhile, GTX 1080 models will see their memories increased to 11 Gbps. For both cards, there is also 10% more bandwidth for memory.

The first update goes to the GeForce GTX 1080, which was the top model in the GeForce range prior to the launch of the GTX 1080 Ti. The MSI version retains the current clock rates of 1607 MHz and 1733 MHz in Boost mode, although the FinFET architecture will allow you to achieve higher speeds through Overclocking.

Apart from its slightly higher price of $ 499, the new card also debuts a memory with GDDR5X architecture that operates at 11 Gbps / s, and is capable of reaching a bandwidth of 352 GB / s, compared to 320 GB / s of the reference model.

MSI's new GeForce GTX 1060 also updates its memory with a faster variant. The new GTX 1060 models will arrive this way with 9 Gbps / s GDDR5 chips compared to the 8 GB / s of the reference model, and will deliver a bandwidth of 216 GB / s (compared to 192.2 GB / s). s of the original).

The price of this model has not been released, although there will surely be a small increase from MSI.

Overall, these NVIDIA announcements only tell us that the company is continually working to bring its cards to more gamers. Meanwhile, AMD is also preparing slightly updated models of the Polaris GPU for this April.
